You're talking about a different activation method in that comment, and it
still doesn't explain what you meant by ""If SegWit is purely Bit-1 then it
won't trigger."

But anyway, let's take you at face value: that makes it clear that bit-4 is
*not* intended to be the segwit2x activation, just a way to activate segwit at
80% hashing power. So again, you should fix the Consensus::DEPLOYMENT_SEGWIT2X
terminology to correctly state it's DEPLOYMENT_BIP91, not segwit2x

Doing otherwise is misleading, and has been confusing the public.
